Specialist Areas

I have worked for a substantial period in parenting, child and family support as a clinical psychologist and author with a repertoire of writing styles and subjects.

Topics range from specialist, for example parent and child attachment, depression and suicide and relationship breakdown, to the more everyday, such as stress management for parents, handling tantrums and grand parenting and I enjoy occasionally writing more light hearted articles.

I have written in a range of styles, including long pieces on parent and child issues, such as the Living with… series of booklets and videos for Family and Children’s Services, to shorter articles, tip sheets and expert ‘Question and Answer’ columns. I include “real life” quotes and stories from parents and use contributions from academics working in relevant fields.

Many of the ideas in my work are tried and tested at home before they reach the public!
